If the cause of the laryngospasm is GERD, then treatment for this condition helps in managing laryngospasm.

Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (abbreviated PCV13) is a shot for infants and toddlers. It helps prevent pneumococcal disease, and it also helps stop the disease from spreading from person to person. It is now also being given to older adults. The vaccine's protection lasts at least 3 years.
There are currently 2 types of pneumococcal vaccines: pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13 or Prevnar 13Â®) and pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23 or PneumovaxÂ®). 1  PCV13 is recommended for all children younger than 5 years old, all adults 65 years or older, and people 6 years or older with certain risk factors. Adults 19 years or older with one of the above listed conditions who have not received any pneumococcal vaccine, should get a dose of PCV13 first and should also continue to receive the recommended doses of PPSV23. 2  Ask your healthcare provider for details.
